Study Notes
Classification of Levers
- First Class Lever: Fulcrum positioned between effort and load; common in balance scenarios.
- First Class Lever Example: Neck movement; head acts as the load and the muscles provide effort.
- Second Class Lever: Load is situated between the fulcrum and effort; effective for lifting heavier loads.
- Second Class Lever Example: Calf raises; effort is provided by the calf pushing up, fulcrum is the toe, and the load is the body weight lifted from the ground.
- Third Class Lever: The fulcrum is at one end with effort located between the fulcrum and the load; emphasizes speed and range of motion.
- Third Class Lever Example: Bicep curls; effort comes from biceps, fulcrum is the elbow, and weight acts as the load.
- Lever Classifications: First class (FAR), Second class (FRA), Third class (AFR).
- First Class Lever Balance: Important for maintaining equilibrium, e.g., balancing head on neck.
- Second Class Lever Efficiency: Capable of overcoming significant weights; useful in everyday activities requiring strength.
- Third Class Lever Dynamics: Achieves greater range of motion (ROM) and speed; examples include golf swings and throwing actions.
